I am searching the an original NTT DoCoMo firmware.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acont:
Oz the model is SC-01C it has a build date of 2010/12

I was thinking considering I can get into the build/download screen maybe trying an emergency firmware recovery using Kies.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsurin:
Hi,

I'm a fellow SC01 owner. You can get a backup of the stock firmware here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=OJAK2UZF

Firmware code is SC01COMJK2

I believe there are newer firmwares (which I haven't installed as some of them contain a new bootloader that only allows for signed firmwares, same as the international units) that I have seen mentioned on various Japanese blogs. Let me know if you want me to try to hunt any down for you.

As for my SC01, I installed the custom kernel by koxudaxi and it's working great. Mind you, I've only changed to this kernel and apart from that am running the stock OS. I got his kernel here which can overclock to 1.4GHz: http://koxudaxi.sakura.ne.jp/

The kernel I installed via Heindall is zImage_ntt_2. It looks like he's built a newer version though, I might check that out. I think what you might want to do, is in download mode try to restore the above backup to your unit. Look up the Roto Backup thread to see how to do this. Hopefully since you can get download mode, all is not lost. I personally think it's quite crummy that there are different hardware versions like this which aren't interchangeable though >_<
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acont:
I'm going to give the original firmware a go today at lunch time and I will let you know how I go. Thanks anyways for the link if all goes well I'll look at possibly trying the the koxudaxi kernel.

UPDATE: Well I'm not having luck getting the firmware to flash to my tab I keep getting "Failed to retrieve config Descriptor" when trying to flash. I will keep plugging away.

UPDATE: Still getting the same problems using heimdall to flash the tab. Any suggestions as to what I could do next?

Recovering a Docomo Tab

I'm currently running Overcome v1.1.3 ROM and richardtrip's V15 kernel on my SC-01C.

You're getting this error from Heimdall, right? Have you tried Odin 1.7?

Here's how I recovered my Tab using Odin:

1. Following the instructions in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=895827, specify the P1_add_hidden.pit in the PIT button and select Re-Partition.

2. Specify the stock Docomo ROM when pressing the PDA button.

3. Ignore the Phone and CSC buttons, as the stock ROM already contain these items.

You should be able to restore your Tab to stock settings using this procedure.

If this doesn't work, you might want to check if the USB connection to your PC is ok, and if everything necessary to run Odin is installed on your PC.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acont:
Bugger!

Well thanks for your help all of you but I think I have just made matters worse.

Last night I had success in flashing the original docomo firmware provided to me by zetsurin but I think I shouldn't have included the boot images.

Unfortunately I think it is completely bricked now it now wont turn on and when plugged into power (thinking that the battery had died) it just comes up with a white screen.

I can't boot into download mode and I can hold down the power button till I turn blue in the face... So as Bones would say "It's dead Jim"

Unless any of you have anything else I could try as a last ditch shot I might just have to ship it back to Japan and get them to fix it or maybe try Samsung here in Oz.

Serves me right :(

Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fury1sog:
What exactly happened?

The SC01COMJK2 firmware does not contain protected bootloaders, by the way.

I've heard about this happening when the battery runs out. Try connecting the Tab to your PC (not your AC adapter) and let it trickle-charge for an hour or so. If successful, you should see the download screen.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acont:
fury1sog unfortunately that didnt work :(

spoke to the samsung repairers here in Aus and they said they can take a look at it for me hopefully bring life back into my unit and then I will never touch it again
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acont:
Any thoughts?

Hopefully this post is still being looked at but has anyone got any ideas as to what I could do before I fork out $374 to my tab repaired by Samsung Australia?

According to the repair guys its a faulty board (not an idiot that tried to flash it) and needs to be replaced. Not sure if this is worth my trouble considering I could buy a brand new tab for $599.

There is a positive out of this, the MB will be an Australian MB and I will have a working "Australian" tab instead of the Japanese version.

Considering the unfortunate tragedy in Japan I am not sure I should try and get my friend in Japan to fix it for me.

Thoughts anyone?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edcbabe:
I know someone who can unlock it, I have mine unlocked by them.

I was afraid of flashing it myself so I paid to have it unlocked, cost was $20.

I think you better go for the MB replacement, it's cheaper.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zetsurin:
For what it's worth, I went to reset my tab to factory using a rotohammer backup I made when I first bought it, and got stuck in a boot loop. So I then used ODIN. Still got a boot loop. Then I tried ODIN repartition... it hung for hours. Knowing the thing was likely bricked I pulled the plug and now I am in the situation as you: I have a crappy icon of a phone + an exclamation + computer image. Dead.

I think the best thing I can do for this junk is to toss it unceremoniously in the bin. Fortunately I also have an iPad which has resumed full-time service.

EDIT: Some signs of hope in here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=903257

Try "heimdall close-pc-screen" to see if your tab can get kicked back into the boot loop at least. Mine has failed a repartition, but I can still get it into the boot loop, which is a start. Will experiment over the weekend.

EDIT 2: Well my tab is back up and runing. I reflashed my original roto backup using ODIN with repartition on, then I went into recovery and did a factory restore. Back up like stock now. I think I'm going to sell it though, since it's been badly dis-owned by Samsung.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemmy_0:
hi zetsurin!

thanks for teaching me how to unlock the tab.

problem now is, im not able to successfully flash any rom. keeps saying write fail, using odin.

stuck at docomo logo when rebooted.

need help.
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lemmy_0:

What ROM is best for a SC-01C?

Hi Guys

I picked up a 2nd hand SC-01C from Yahoo Auction, and am wondering what the best ROM to use with it is...

Looks like this guy has got an Overcome ROM on it OK, (http://chaki-ramone.blogspot.com/2011/06/galaxytabsc-01cgingerbreadromovercome.html), so I wonder if the latest version (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1205990) will work OK - anyone tried? (is the SC-01C a GSM-based model??)

I'm not going to use a SIM with it, so I'm not bothered about unlocking - but just want it rooted & want a good balance between speed & battery life. If you were going from scratch with an SC-01C, what would you do? Any suggestions greatfully received!

Thanks in advance?

PS - I'm an iPhone / iPad / Ideos 8150 / Notion Ink Adam owner, all jailbroken / rooted. So I'm not scared about rooting per-se, just worried about trying something that will not work because of anything docomo has done to the Tab!

Anybody has the Docomo SC-01C stock ROM can help me?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shathis:
Same problem. Is it really so rare?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hagard:
anyone can upload stock ROM for my SC-01C?

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yappoe:
you can download any official firmware at http://fus.nanzen.se/

1. Download Check Fus Downloader 2.1

Open Check Fus Downloader, and select the correct model of your G-Tab, choose a Firmware for your region. It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file

2. Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get

tar.md 5 file.

3. Start Odin - put the .md5 to PDA and leave everything else as is.

4. Go to download mode on the G-tab (Power + Volume down) - connect to your computer.

and click start. It takes about 6 to 7 minutes to do the flashing.

Can't guarentee if it would work, but good luck.

[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
people can't really be surprised about this
[EVO 4G General] elegantai:
sigh, I was actually considering switching to verizon, sprint seems to hate detroit.i guess that solidifies sticking with sprint.i don't think I could get by with a 2gb allotment per month considering I average 3gb now. Hopefully sprint realizes their unlimited data is a major aspect they have going for them and don't follow suit.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
lmao just another reason to stay with sprint
[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:
i use a ton of data on my phone, but only about 50mb on 4g, as im always on wifi. 2gb would be plenty for 99% of users.
[EVO 4G General] Semantics:
It wont be long before Sprint announces the same thing. Book it. Every advantage they had over the larger carriers is being taken away. From S|P changes, to 10 dollar premium data to all smartphones. They will most certainly follow suit.
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Yeah, no big surprise there. Just a matter of time til Sprint does the same, honestly. You guys don't really think Sprint's gonna keep their plans unlimited forever, do you? Too bad we don't have a reasonably priced carrier with good phones that doesn't pull the rug out on ya here in the U.S. As soon as you're happy with a carrier, they change something on you, in order to make more money. Sorry, but they're all businesses, and I have the same level of loyalty to Sprint that they have to me (aka none whatsoever). I've just been kinda pissed since the Sprint bait and switch over their Premier status thing. *End rant. Back to happy old me. :D
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
The reason Sprint added the $10 charge is to keep plans unlimited. They are not switching anytime soon.

Sent from my spaceship!
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
I hope tiered plans come to Sprint SOON! I rather pay for what I plan on using instead of paying for bandwidth I don't use.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] Sportsplayer612:
It boggles my mind that people (none in this thread) can complain about the $10 premium data charge. Sprint never charged for data before and now they charge only $10. Would people rather pay $30 a month for 5gb or $10 a month for unlimited? Seems like a no brainer to me.
[EVO 4G General] JayStation3:
I can't say one way or the other what Sprint will do or won't do b/c I don't work on the top level of Sprint... but what I can say is that I will be really pissed if they follow suit here with these capitalistic companies... I hate AT&T...never been with any one else except Sprint.... not since... PRIMECo ::head bangs:: but yeah - I have no problem with Sprint so far as they don't change to this crap... I am trying to get my wife to switch to sprint...(she is with AT&T) and they would really be stupid if they make my fight harder...

I mean look at SONY. If I wasnt sort of a non official spokes person for the PS3 - they wouldnt have made 13 sales... I sold 13 friends on the PS3 b/c they couldnt sell me on a XOBX...(I wrote it like that on purpose)... Imagine what sprint will be able to do if they continue to keep unlimited - truely UNLIMITED...
[EVO 4G General] brownhornet:
With Sprints data woes as of lately do you honestly think unlimited data is going to last forever? lol...
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
if we go with LTE... we will lose too...

wimax is what we need to keep on sprint.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
LOL True dat! At 100-300 kb/s on average for 3G speeds around my area, it sure will take me more than 1 month to max out a theoretical cap of 2GB per month if it comes to that. The most ****ed up part of it is that even on my current speeds and no 4G in my area, I still had to pay that $10 fee since last summer.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Actually, a lot of people are pissed because of the fact that Sprint refuses to be straight forward about the fee. At first (unofficially), it was a 4G fee. Then when that started getting bad publicity, they tried convincing people that it wasn't for 4g. It was a premium data fee. Nobody even knew what the hell that meant (including Sprint, I think). But the cat was out of the bag. Kind of hard to change your story then. I have no problem with paying the extra $10, personally, especially since I actually get 4g (even though I've used it about 3 times in almost a year). But I do think it sucks how Sprint went about the whole situation. I'd put money on Sprint following suit and getting rid of unlimited data within a year.
[EVO 4G General] detusueno:
right now i'd rather have 4gb of constant 1-2 Mbps instead of the unlimited 500 kbps i get from sprint.
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
True dat. Sprint's current 3G speeds blow. And 4G sucks down battery. Choose the lesser of the two evils.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
They never once said it was a 4G fee, it has and always will be a "premium data fee", however people continue to say that it's a 4G fee because only "4G" phones had it at first.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
If only 4G phones had it at first, then it's a 4G fee no matter how much you and Sprint try to sugarcoat it.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
AMEN!

I'll take a 4GB of consistantly fast data speed over a crappy unlimited 200 kbps (what i'm currently getting from sprint) any day of the week.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Well, now your prayers have been answered, all smartphones have the fee :) enjoy.
[EVO 4G General] NYCguy2020:
Oh,the horror.somebody is criticizing sprint??!..Quick somebody call the other dedicated sprint appologist...what's his face??! matty...whatever.it's an emergency.we gotta alert him to what's going on here.:rolleyes:
[EVO 4G General] Rippley05:
Sprint will eventually go tiered as well...

They better bring in a healthy line of phones when they do tho..if they want to compete.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Let's not turn this into another "Sprint sucks, I hate them and their fee's and everyone bends over to everything they do including myself because i'm one of the idiots that pays them for their ****ty 3G speeds and BS 4G fee and crappy insurance" thread. Thanks :)
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Look, I know Sprint never ACTUALLY called it a 4g fee, but realistically, like Hondacop stated, if it's ONLY tagged onto 4g phones, it's a 4g fee. I don't mind it, really, as Sprint is still cheaper even with that fee. Just don't BS me about what it really is. Not trying to hate on Sprint, as overall, I've been happy with them. But if someone else's plans and service were better in my area, I wouldn't hesitate to switch in a heartbeat.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
In that case, technically, it could be called a "hotspot unlimited data" fee or "really awesome screen" fee or "faster processor fee" :) lol im just saying. But no more whining about that fee, LTE is going to screw a lot of people over.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
It is what it is my man!
[EVO 4G General] live2ride96:
Yeeeeeeaaaaahhhh.... Kinda stretching it there, boss. ;) I completely understand what you're saying, but that's kind of my point. Sprint never really stated what it was for. "Premium data fee" tells me NOTHING at all. That's as clear as mud. At least if they flat out called it a 4g fee, I would have respected them for it. But they couldn't flat out call it that, because then they'd be charging people in non-4g areas a fee for a service they weren't providing.

I'm not trying to argue here. Really. I've just got a lot of frustration built up lately with Sprint, and maybe this wasn't the ideal place to vent. Between this 4G fee thing, the premium data fee for all smartphones (now what the hell are they gonna call it), the sudden change in Premier status, insanely slow 3g speeds, inconsistent 4g coverage, and the complete lack of good phones coming (and no, the POS Echo doesn't count), I'm just frustrated. Sorry if I kept this going longer than I should have.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Well said. +1

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Lol I fully understand the frustration. There's a reason why all of this is happening and it's mainly to keep data unlimited and expand coverage for 3G/4G. Im just hoping the network gets better soon.

By the way, they did state what it was for, but people refuse to accept the answer :P. It's simply a charge for phones that use more data that's about as simple as it get's.
[EVO 4G General] Kraenesk:
I find complaing the about the fee funny. Even with the fee. My plan for me and my wife is 30% cheaper than it would have been with verizon or att. I preffer they add a wierd fee than charge me 30% more for less service.

Mikfroyo...can something this good be legal?
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
Last summer when the "premium data fee" was announced, how could an EVO use more data than say a Palm Pre or a Blackberry? All three were smartphones with the same unlimited Internet access, Facebook apps, email, browsers, apps, etc etc. Oh wait, the only difference as far as data was concerned, was that the EVO was 4G. Case closed. But I will let you continue ballwashing Sprint. You very well deserve that Employee of the Month award you seem so desperately in achieving. =)

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] HondaCop:
And probably 70% slower and spottier. =) Enjoy your savings.

PS. My name is HondaCop and I approve this message.
[EVO 4G General] Kraenesk:
Wrong I left att because they have ****ty coverage. I get way better coverage on sprint. For a lot less money. And where I am I normally get around 1mb down and .5 up which I won't ***** about. Definitely good enough fire browsing and stuff on a phone.

Mikfroyo...can something this good be legal?
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Not at all. Hotspot enabled, video chat enabled, tons more applications - these are things that use more data, something your mind can't seem to comprehend. I'll continue to allow you to complain about something you continue to pay for :)
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Are you planning on leaving Sprint or are you the type that stays and complains and calls in everyday for a $10 discount cause you are too cheap and broke to switch to a company that works better in your area? Last I checked you said you were leaving last month, what happened? Don't take this personally either, like you always do.
[EVO 4G General] Papa Smurf151:
U truly r a moron. Ur complaining about a fee that u agreed to for using ur evo. The fee is 10 bucks. Does that break u. Does that make u feel inferior or used. The truth is sprint has the cheapest plans with descent service and one of the best phones with some of the best devs in the business. Tell u what go to verison T-Mobile or at&t. Get their outrageous plans with tiered data, counted text messages, no hotspots, little access to 4g, and crappy phones. I for one wouldn't miss seeing ur retarded signature and ****ty whiney comments everywhere. No one is stopping u for leaving. Unless its due to the higher rates at other companies. But then that would counter act ur *****ing about 10 bucks and the reasoning behind it. Does it matter. No cause u agreed to it. Will sprint tier their data most likely not. They can't afford to lose all the people they would lose.

I'm pretty sure that's the only reason, after all he can buy out his contract, sell the Evo for $250 on eBay or Craigslist and go to another company.
